Set a Sim’s Sexual Orientation

Open the Sim settings menu and click on the icon in the form of three green circles in the top left corner of the screen.

Here you will see two tabs: Gender and Sexual Orientation. We are interested in the second point.

You can track three parameters:

• Who is the Sim romantically interested in (Male, Female). You have the right to determine who your neighborhood is ready to start dating, dating, and dating. Please note that we are not talking about sex (“WooHoo”), whose setting is in the third paragraph.
• Does this Sim engage in romantic explorations (yes, no). This parameter is responsible for the character’s behavior in adolescence. If you select the “Yes” option, the Sim will be open to relationships with other people. If “No”, he will refuse anyone who invites him on a date or offers intimacy.
• Who will this Sim joke with and woo-hoo with (men, women). This setting determines who your character will be “naughty” (for teens) and “sex” (for adults and old people) with. Please note that this parameter does not affect romantic relationships with a steady partner, but applies to “special friends”.

As you already understood, romantic and sexual relationships are now configured separately. In all cases, you can choose one, both options, or neither. In the second case, you get a bisexual who enters into a relationship with both men and women. If you didn’t choose any of the options, you’ll end up with an asexual Sim who isn’t ready for a relationship with anyone.

Keep in mind that if you don’t set these settings yourself, your Sims will become bisexual and open to romantic experimentation. But over time, a Sim’s preferences can change. For example, if a character has had a successful relationship with girls, he will prefer them.

Gender a Sim

In the Sim’s settings you can set the characteristics of his gender. They’re next to the sexual orientation options we talked about earlier.

The following options are available to you:

• Body structure (male, female). The feminine version has a thinner waist and breasts. As a result, they will not be able to wear open tops regardless of their preference. Men have wider shoulders and more developed muscles.
• Clothing preferences (male, female). This option only affects hairstyles and outfits that are offered by default. You are free to dress up your Sim however you like.
• This sim can: get pregnant, get others pregnant, neither (infertility). The description speaks for itself. Keep in mind that if you want to have kids, you need one Sim to get pregnant and the second to get others pregnant.
• Can this Sim pee standing up (yes, no)? This parameter affects how exactly he will use the toilet.

As for newborn Sims, you can’t choose their gender and sexual preference until they are teenagers. But after reaching a certain age, you can customize them in the same way as adult characters.

Customize pronouns associated with your Sim

The item “Change Pronoun” has been added to the character customization menu. You can control how your Sim is referred to as “He/His”, “They/His” or “They”. In addition, there is a fourth point, which offers the possibility to set your own set of pronouns for different situations. At the moment, the system is quite rough, so various malfunctions and errors are possible.
